Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, love, hope, and strength. Come on, it is that hour. It is 11 o'clock live here in London, England. We've had a day and a half. I don't know what you've been up to today, but oh my lord, what a day it's
been today. The glory, the power, the love of Jesus Christ. Are you tired? Are you weary? Are you burdened? Are you weighed down with the pressures of the world? Wherever you sit, whatever the colour of your skin, whatever the tribe, whatever the language, wherever you come from, I've got to tell you, Saint now, Jesus Christ loves you. And that is biblical fact. Jesus Christ loves you. This is not just coming out of my voice, I'm not making this up. Because John 3 16, one of the greatest scriptures the world has ever heard. John 3 16, for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son, that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Just take a moment and ponder on the love of God. It's not about church, it's not about me, it's not about religion, it's not about the world, it's about Jesus.
If you're in trouble, if you're weary, if you're tired, if you're exhausted, I would encourage you to get your Bible, get yourself a Bible. If you need a Bible, hit us up in the studio, which is so simple. Send us an email, info at dailyprayer.uk. We will get you a Bible. You know, get a Bible, open up the Word of God, turn to Psalms, the Gospel of John, and just read and let the word speak to you. Don't expect anything. That is absolutely critical. Don't expect anything. Just say, Jesus, if you're real, show us. And I'm telling you now, Holy Spirit, I thank you that you are real.
So, Father, as we pray through Matthew 11, 28, Jesus, lift my burdens and give my heart rest tonight. Jesus, lift my burdens and give my heart rest tonight. Father, we thank you for the gospel of Matthew chapter 11, verse 28. Come to me, all of you that are burdened and weighed down, and I will give you rest. Father, I think that is every one of us under the sound of my voice. Lord, I think we're anxious and tired. I think we might be weary and exhausted of life, Lord. Relationships are wearing, children are wearing, marriage is wearing, home is wearing, education is wearing, life is wearing, school, all the rah-rah-ra of life, all the barking, all the noise of life. Father, it is wearing. And Lord, I pray that we will fill the gentle rhythm of heaven. And Lord, as you call out through the word of God, Lord, you call out right now across the world to everyone that is crying, everyone that is lost, everyone that is scared, everyone that is smiling, everyone, dear God, that is looking for a new rhythm of their life. Jesus is saying this. Come to me. All of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. God is giving
you rest. And in the beautiful book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, verse 7, it says, Cast all your anxieties onto him, because he cares for you. I've got to tell you that God cares for you. God loves you wherever you are across this beautiful earth, whatever your tread is on this terra firma, whatever your life looks like, however you measure life, from the ends of the earth to here in London, England, to Brazil, Nepal, Canada, Portugal, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the school run, to the Nowbar, to the pedicure, to the barbers, to the school, to the HR office, to that hard situation that you've been through today. God sees your tears, He sees your pain, He knows we're wrestling money, He knows that we're scared about the bills, He knows that we're worried about the children's future, He knows that we're worried about the nation in which we live in, He sees everything. And as I pedal out of this prayer, I've got to repeat what it says in the New Testament, 1 Peter chapter 5, verse 7. Cast all your anxiety onto
him because he cares for you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. If God can do it for me, if God never let me go, if God shows up for me every second, every moment, I think I've worn so many angels out over history because of the trouble he's kept me from. I think the angels are upstairs going, not Benegin. Jesus, no, don't don't deploy us on his life. God please, he he gets himself in a few pickles. Let me tell you, in all seriousness, if God can do it for me, how much more can he do it for you? If you need any help, if you are worried about life, you make sure you email us to the studio and it is info at dailyprayer.uk. May the God that we serve carry you forevermore. Don't go too far. I'll catch you in two.
